Congratulations to US!

I've noticed lately that a lot of people are posting about losing weight and I just want to say CONGRATULATIONS to everyone who has taken the difficult (sometimes seemingly impossible) step towards a healthier life. These posts seem to be popping up more often than usual and it's so nice to see. I know that this website has been an enormous help to me and I've gotten so much strength from all the support. Since Thanksgiving, I too have lost 20 lbs. I really think that were it not for everyone on Daily Strength that it wouldnt be happening. I appreciate everyone who takes the time to write and share there thoughts, dreams, fears and realizations. I'm happy to be a part of this family and I just wanted to say congratulations to everyone who is losing and I also want to say to those who are just beginning the journey - don't ever give up on yourself. There is a new beginning for you waiting just around the corner and you'll find the strength to make it happen. God Bless.

Hi Amy! Congratulations on your success!!! I'm with you. Since September, I have lost 32 pounds. I just weighed in today at my doctors (I go once a month) and I found out that I lost 12 pounds over the past month. I love the support and strength given here at DS.
